The Houthis shatter European pretensions to naval power
Following Americas ceasefire in May with the Houthis, an Iran-backed militia based in Yemen, the European Union had a chance to step out of Americas military shadow in the Red Sea. The blocs naval authority was running Operation Aspides, a purely defensive mission in the Red Sea, Indian Ocean and the Gulf, to restore maritime shipping through the region. The number of transits had plummeted since attacks by the Houthis started in October 2023, with the total volume falling by 60% (see chart).

AI model converts hospital records into text for better emergency care decisions
UCLA researchers have developed an AI system that turns fragmented electronic health records (EHR) normally in tables into readable narratives, allowing artificial intelligence to make sense of complex patient histories and use these narratives to perform clinical decision support with high accuracy. The Multimodal Embedding Model for EHR (MEME) transforms tabular health data into "pseudonotes" that mirror clinical documentation, allowing AI models designed for text to analyze patient information more effectively.

Wide Open: A Look Ahead at the 2028 Democratic Presidential Race
Democrats are understandably traumatized from the results of the 2024 presidential election as well as the ongoing consequences of Donald Trumps return to power. But like it or not, time marches on and were already at the point where a wide array of would-be Democratic candidates are imagining themselves winning back the White House, and some are already making moves toward that end. So we might as well bite the bullet and look ahead at how the 2028 Democratic primary may play out. But before we talk about who might run and who might win, its important to establish some context for what is going to feel like a very different Democratic primary than the ones in 2020 or 2016.

America is turning into a nation of return fraudsters
Bill Stewart, the owner of LI Toy and Game on Long Island, New York, estimates that he gets "screwed over" by return shenanigans twice a month. Customers falsely claim an item he shipped wasn't as described or doesn't work, or they send back something in much worse condition than how he released it. Recently, a customer returned a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine model kit after two weeks with the box open, the toy half assembled, and pieces missing. Given the condition, there was no way for him to resell it. "Went right into the trash," Stewart says. "The kid played with it, was probably too young for it."
